Valentine's Day

Let's brag and AW ourselves!

Re: Valentine's Day

  • H just went to the store for two cheap bottles of Walmarteau Reserve wine and brownie mix.  EXCITING.

    Tomorrow I'm spending the day with my girlfriend from college who is also unemployed drinking bottomless mimosas at the Grape while our SOs work.

  • I have nothing to AW myself with, but I do have a funny story.

    I didn't make it to church this morning so I was catching up on DVR when my mom came in.  She got this butthurt look on her face and said, "Why didn't you open my card?"  Apparently, she thought today was Vday and had left me a card and a bag of chocolates on the kitchen table and I never saw it.  I think its so funny that she got the day wrong and then was so upset that I missed it.  Im going to get her flowers and a nice card tomorrow.

    I did get my best friend a facial with a groupon and one for me too, Im excited about my first facial!

    That sounds like fun!  Enjoy!

  • We celebrated last night because DH will be working tomorrow night. We went to Fresh Market and got filets, twice baked potatoes, and a molten lava cake. After dinner we watched the Social Network. 

    DH cleaned out our garage on Friday and bought me sour patch kids, lindor truffles, and carrot cake cupcakes.

  • I just realized it was tomorrow when the chilis waitress mentioned they've been super busy for v-day weekend.

    I picked up a funny card last week, and I'll ptobably get him a candy bar. We don't really do valentine's day.

  • H and I went to see Gnomeo and Juliet (so cute and funny, btw) and dinner at Bonefish yesterday. We also went looking for me a new gym bag (was going to be my VDay gift) but I couldn't find what I wanted. We got each other cards that we'll exchange tomorrow. H is saving up for an iPad so I'll probably contribute to his fund for his VDay gift. I also made the red velvet cupcakes I posted about and they are great.

  • We're staying the night out at a hotel for a wedding this coming weekend, my birthday is in a little over two weeks and then our anniversary trip to Orlando is two weeks after that so DH didn't bother taking off from work. If he happens to have the night off by some miracle (highly doubt it but he gets his schedule tonight), we'll go somewhere for a casual dinner. We're not exchanging gifts with all the other expensive stuff coming up but I got him a card and knowing DH he'll bring home flowers, a small teddy bear, or something else just to be sweet.

  • We were going to out to eat this weekend since we both have class on Monday nights but right now the T household has the Black Plague and no one is doing any celebrating.
  • My hubby got me the Clinique 3 step cleaner (I asked for it) and I got him 2 UNF shirts because he just got accepted. We dont have any plans since we have a 3 month old and no friends or baby sitter here yet since we just moved.

  • We will exchange cards. Our phone contract is up 10 days after V Day, so we decided we will each get new phones for Valentines Day.

  • I got DH a card and some dark chocolate lindor truffles since we aren't really doing gifts this year.  We are heading to Osaka tomorrow night for hibachi and sushi....yum!

  • There are a few big purchases that C wants to make in the next month, so I will contribute money to those. He will get some candy hearts tomorrow with his card. He bought me a table from Pottery Barn this weekend. We weren't supposed to do gifts, but that idea failed.
  • We have never been big on this holiday. Usually we'll use it as an excuse to try a new restaurant but this year I told DH that he had a free pass to forget about it completely.

    Tomorrow I'm spending the day with my girlfriend from college who is also unemployed drinking bottomless mimosas at the Grape while our SOs work.

    GL with that. They've started cutting people off after 3-4, so they aren't really "bottomless" anymore.

  • DH got me a watch on the cruise & I got him a Massage Envy gift card. We're going out to dinner tonight... at a Sports Bar near our house. We're super romantic.

    What! You can't cut off bottomless mimosas.

  • JJ got me the necklace in posted in the other thread, and I got him truffles.

    We did our gifts last night because he has to work until 10pm tonight. We had fondue last night, but I was feeling pretty sick and didn't really eat. We're not big on VD celebrations, so I'm surprised he got me a gift and was insistent on making fondue!

  • We don't really make a big deal out of Valentine's Day.  I got him a card and a big canister of this trail mix stuff that he loves to take to work and then I picked up a DVD with the 4 Superman movies on it for him from Braden, since he was all excited that it was on this weekend and B actually sat and watched a bit of it with him.

    I just emailed him asking if we could go to ***'s Wings for dinner. Super romantic.

  • We're not doing anything - no cards, no gifts, no special meal. which is fine with me. maybe we'll open a bottle of wine tonight with dinner.
  • A card and probably some nookie.  We may go to Mellow Mushroom tonight to use our Groupon.

  • We went to dinner last night. Everywhere was so crowded, I think we're skipping going out next year.

    I know, right? I've got a group of friends that DH & I there with for brunch ever so often. Last time they went, they got cut off after 3 mimosas each. I wasn't there, but the server said they were drunk & too loud. Loud? Probably, but that's just cause a group of 8+ people is going to be loud. Drunk? I don't think so cause I know how much all of them can drink.

  • Too loud? Maybe someone should hand that guideline to their mediocre guitarists so people don't have to shout over them in a wine bar.

    We're getting PF Changs takeout and I made car bomb cupcakes for dessert.

    I got DH a fresh bottle of sapphire gin and a bag of dark chocolates.

  • H and I are making California rolls at home and maybe having ourselves a little fire in the fireplace.  The rest you don't need to know about.  lol
